WHATELY, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — Residents voted in favor of adopting one zip code for all Whately addresses at the Town Meeting in June of last year.
However, the new zip code won’t go into effect until January 1st, 2026. The town has notified residents to wait on changing any of their addresses to reflect the new zip code until that time.
Town officials also shared that the U.S. Postal Service will carry out a mail forwarding service for one year, all of the calendar year 2026, to give residents time to switch over all mail to the new zip code once it goes into effect.
